More about this artwork

George Wesley Bellows' vibrant 1916 painting, "The Coming Storm," captures a dynamic and dramatic seascape that powerfully conveys the tension and anticipation of an impending storm. Bellows' use of impasto, where paint is laid on an area of the surface in thick layers, gives the piece a robust texture that enhances its emotional intensity.The painting showcases a rugged coastal scene with tumultuous, swirling waters clashing against the rocks. The dark and moody sky, filled with heavy, rolling clouds, presages the unstoppable force of nature, while glimpses of clear blue sky and light on the horizon invoke a fleeting sense of calm before the storm. The contrast of the dark storm clouds with the vibrant greens and yellows of the coastal vegetation emphasizes the volatile relationship between earth and sky—a hallmark of Bellows' ability to capture both the beauty and ferocity of nature."The Coming Storm" is a masterful demonstration of Bellows' skill in using color and brushwork to evoke a sense of movement and mood, making it a compelling piece for both critique and admiration.
